Region V RVP Elect 2006 Conference — Closing Featured Speaker The 2006 Conference Committee is pleased to announce that Senator Robert Menendez, D-N.J., will be our closing speaker on Wed., March 15. Menendez was born in New York City in 1954, the son of poor Cuban immigrants. It was an inauspicious beginning to the story of a man who ultimately earned his bachelor's degree in political science and urban studies from St. Peter's College (1976), a law degree from Rutgers University (1979) and went on to hold a variety of elected offices, including school board member, mayor, assemblyman, state senator, congressman, House Democratic Caucus chair (making him at that time the highest-ranking Hispanic in congressional history and the only Hispanic ever elected to a leadership position in either chamber), and now, United State Senator from New Jersey. He is celebrated as one of the Hispanic community's rising stars, and has been defined as "a gutsy defender of liberal values." He is recognized internationally as an advocate for human rights and at a national level for his commitment to student access to higher education. MUFP Summer Internship — Deadline This Friday!
